Not bad, cant beat it considering you have what less than $75 invested for the whole set?

I dont have any exp with those tweeters or mids, but looks good and as long as it sounds good to you. Good job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you know you are running 4ohm tweeters on a 8ohm crossover? Your tweeters are crossed at about 7k, you have a gap from 3500 to 7000

He's running a pair of tweets on each side...even so, running a pair of 90db tweets with an 88db mid makes a harsh sounding setup.

There is still a huge gap.

What kind of truck? That is crazy deep mid.

How so? A pair of 4ohm tweets wire to an 8ohm load, just like he needs...

Talking about the xover points...

Typically, you cross at 2x FS. I wouldn't run that mid that high as you run into beaming issues. So you chose between beaming or a gap.

nvm, didnt se he had pairs

I guess I don't see anything inherently wrong with it, persay. Maybe it's something I wouldn't do.

You might want to look into that gap problem. Also if you can try to attenuate the tweeters some so that they balance out with the mid better.

Assuming you can fix the gap with a new xover. And get it tuned in to sound a little more balanced.

I'd say good for you for having a possible nice sounding setup on the cheap.

It's not really a gap problem as I descibed before. I think he is crossing that mid over too high....

3.5k is too high IMO.

I thought you were referring to the ohm load issue. I was thinking the same thing about the mids as well. I'll never cross a 6.5 above 2.5khz. Right now I have my mids and tweets x'd at 2.5khz with 24db/oct slopes. it sounds good, but I always find myself messing with different points and slopes...never really see a difference unless I'm playing them at really high volumes.

OP, what truck is that?
